Our suggestion
..

The version of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2) is probably erroneous – cf. analogous bar 232. In the main text, we preserve the nominal rhythmic values of the original version, whereas in GE3 the 1st note was prolonged to a crotchet, which may be considered an alternative reconstruction of the rhythm intended by Chopin.

..

In FE, the last note in the R.H. is a semiquaver, which is inconsistent with the demisemiquaver rest that precedes it. We correct this mistake in an obvious manner by shortening that note to a demisemiquaver. In GE and EE, the place was revised in the same way.

In FE, the middle notes of the tremolando that double the trill are devoid of extending dots. The inaccuracy was corrected in the remaining editions.
